For the record, there is still much to be learned about the connection between heart disease and dental health. To recap the study was small, it only looked at carotid arteries not coronary arteries, and CIMT is perhaps the easiest atherosclerosis marker to regress. Nonetheless, we have the first solid evidence that there IS a connection between heart health and dental health.
The takeaway heart health hint here is that you have another reason to follow the age-old admonition to visit your dentist regularly for a cleaning and check-up. You will now have two reasons to smile - whiter teeth and a potentially healthier heart.
Looking out for your heart health,
